Nervo

Treiso and Alba
Nervo

The Nervo MGA, a natural extension of Bernardot on one side and Rizzi on the other, could be considered the core of the long slope that extends from Cascina Boito to the edge of the village of Treiso. Characteristics are very similar (steep slopes, excellent exposures, quality terrains), making Nervo historically one of the most renowned crus of Treiso. The wines, like those of Rizzi, lack the structure and solidity of those of some other MGAs, but they make up for it with elegance and classic style (with a touch more of tannic austerity in respect to Rizzi).

Menzioni Vigna: Fondetta, Giaia.
